From: Agent S 29 October 2021 20:50 PM

Agent S
why would you leave such a well paid role, disagreement with financial strategy?

From: Agent S 15 October 2021 08:22 AM

Agent S
I tried it from the user side - too many questions , lost the will to live!

From: Agent S 07 October 2021 14:01 PM

Agent S
Infuriating and he's probably still offending - when will these smug do gooders learn the way the world works

From: Agent S 07 October 2021 12:29 PM

Agent S
Well needed a laugh today!

From: Agent S 24 September 2021 10:41 AM

Agent S
I think (Tuesday Wednesday Thursday ) will start to become the new norm, agree its wrong at the current time to force people back to work BUT I think its getting to the point where we have to start to make the change and get the team in and back to bouncing ideas and problems around as we all did before.

From: Agent S 25 August 2021 14:57 PM

How much are you paying?

I feel ashamed that it has come to this Paulette

What is wrong with these idiots, sitting cowering in their "protected" anonymity, I'm so proud of every one of the players

From: Agent S 12 July 2021 09:46 AM

Makes me very proud to be in the industry!

Gave me a laugh - need that, at their expense!

From: Agent S 26 March 2021 08:14 AM

Agent S
This is the most awful scandal - who would take the blame for this if it happened again whilst they are all faffing about?

From: Agent S 10 February 2021 08:49 AM

Agent S
lovely to read about such kindness

From: Agent S 14 December 2020 07:39 AM

Agent S
No! with so much history there aint no mystery!

From: Agent S 18 November 2020 07:46 AM

Agent S
couldn't agree more!

From: Agent S 23 September 2020 17:43 PM

Goodness this "guru" needs to spend a few more work hours finding out the real facts!

From: Agent S 23 September 2020 11:36 AM

well done everyone!

all i want is leads - I love telling people who've filled in a val how useless machines are and how good we are at doing accurate vals!

From: Agent S 03 April 2020 10:32 AM

Agent S
My heart goes out to the Spicerhaart employees to have their livelihoods dragged from underneath them when government support was so near! Well said Jon, we all need humanity to get through these devastating times if we call ourselves a civilised society

From: Agent S 21 March 2020 18:56 PM

Agent S
It is a great offering. Just reading through the 80% salary contribution, seems the employee must be laid off and not do any work for you in order to claim the funding?

From: Agent S 20 March 2020 23:58 PM

Agent S
Yes they should have, and nice to see that they are now running scared and realise the impact it would have been on their cushy lives if we had all given them notice to quit - their arrogance and greed makes me so angry

From: Agent S 20 March 2020 08:04 AM

Agent S
we pay £1950 for a single office - I've always wanted to know how this compares to what others pay?

From: Agent S 18 March 2020 12:53 PM

Agent S
we must all take 10 seconds to complete the survey!

From: Agent S 09 February 2020 08:38 AM

Thanks EAT we needed this open forum!

From: Agent S 15 November 2019 09:28 AM

Who you trying to kid about OTM leads?

Well done chaps!

From: Agent S 24 May 2019 21:52 PM

Agent S
I am a die hard Tory - but what on earth are they doing with the property industry??? Its as if they come into work every day and decide to shoot themselves in a foot yet again even though they know it hurts

From: Agent S 26 April 2019 07:59 AM

Agent S
Goodness I'm one of those living in a house too big and I dont want to downsize - but then been working and paying into the state since I was 16 .

From: Agent S 28 February 2019 09:21 AM

Interesting read Graham!

From: Agent S 28 December 2018 21:09 PM

Reading something like this makes me so proud to be in this industry! Congratulations everyone for been so kind, Estate Agents are lovely people!

From: Agent S 15 December 2018 06:00 AM

Agent S
tell us more?

From: Agent S 10 December 2018 07:00 AM

Agent S
wonder what this note means in the Emoov Ltd accounts to 30.4.2017? 13. Prior year adjustment During the period, it has been identified that various items including revenue and share based payments were not being accounted for in accordance with the requirements of Financial Reporting Standard 102. Adjustments have been made in order to correct the treatment of these items, this has resulted in a reduction in reserves as at 1 January 2016 of £11,502, an increase in the loss for the period ended 31 October 2016 of £493,809 and a reduction in reserves of £505,311 as at 31 October 2016.

From: Agent S 03 December 2018 14:52 PM

Agent S
So the staff wont be paid?

From: Agent S 03 December 2018 13:51 PM

Agent S
Well he certainly need a PR firm to help him now!!

From: Agent S 01 December 2018 09:39 AM

Agent S
Had to giggle here about the " prediction that if current ‘free’ users started paying, then the portal would be self-funding" - touch of the Del Boys - "this time next year rodders"........................................

From: Agent S 26 November 2018 06:03 AM

Agent S
And its going to get tough!! Also dont think they have enough experienced staff , in Doorsteps accounts to Dec 17 they averaged only 7 employees, so the 50 they have now must be quite new to the business?

From: Agent S 19 November 2018 13:47 PM

Agent S
Really admire everyone who's been mentioned here - very well done!

From: Agent S 10 November 2018 00:28 AM

Notice the Poppy on the site - well done guys!

Take my hat off to you on your posing Steve - great insight!

From: Agent S 01 November 2018 09:18 AM

Agent S
Yes a wonderful gift of life to others and a tragic loss of life for the family. They should be very proud of the amazing gift their loved one has passed on

From: Agent S 23 October 2018 08:58 AM

Agent S
The days of 1.5% are long gone!

From: Agent S 19 October 2018 17:51 PM

Agent S
Yes its heart warming to have some genuinely nice news in the industry

From: Agent S 19 October 2018 06:54 AM

Agent S
so the extra few grand will deter the oligarchs and the like?

From: Agent S 30 September 2018 08:27 AM

Agent S
In the high street trust and good service will prevail but with margins going further south

From: Agent S 21 September 2018 07:59 AM

Agent S
If RM and Zoopla dont reduce their prices we high street agents are going to suffer - they will end up will a smaller and smaller customer base as the onliners take our business and business rates and costs increase

From: Agent S 07 September 2018 21:36 PM

Agent S
One things for sure - we've got to adapt to the changing markets and the way our customers want to do business

From: Agent S 22 August 2018 17:27 PM

Agent S
are the shares worth a punt at rock bottom I ask myself!

From: Agent S 02 August 2018 09:35 AM

Agent S
UK Estate Agency might be cheap and competitive - but to the consumer Purple Bricks etc are much cheaper - market forces will always override

From: Agent S 23 July 2018 10:53 AM

Agent S
what a Gentleman you are!

From: Agent S 07 July 2018 15:28 PM

Agent S
now that would be interesting to chart the price hikes over the years!

From: Agent S 01 July 2018 07:10 AM

Agent S
I find this whole subject on email marketing an infringement of my "uman" rights. I am happy to receive emails from any business on new products and information - I don't want the state limiting my access to new products and information! Guess what I am able to click an unsubscribe button or block the sender if I don't want to hear from them again - talk about using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut! (or course I feel quite differently about my SENSITIVE personal information being shared)

From: Agent S 10 April 2018 09:24 AM

Agent S
Hate to say it but the industry IS changing, remember the days when the only place to advertise a property was in the local rag? Consumers will be driven by price and hate to admit it there's an awful lot of purple boards out there , we have to adapt to the changing market

From: Agent S 21 March 2018 13:50 PM

Agent S
OTM's One Portal rule strengthened RM's position making our reliance on them even greater )-:

From: Agent S 23 February 2018 14:30 PM

Agent S
Ah yes! wouldnt it be interesting to know the deals that the 243 new listings have signed up for

From: Agent S 23 February 2018 08:33 AM

Agent S
Wow - a stinging smack in the face for OTM with the low level of leads that they generate all downhill now!

From: Agent S 14 February 2018 14:57 PM

Agent S
I hope they are suitably embarrassed - although they are so thick skinned and full of self interest that I doubt it - what a waste of everything, time, money, legal cases - poor agents with no leads....... the list is endless

From: Agent S 12 February 2018 10:15 AM

Agent S
How will Springett make his millions if they dont float? Interesting extract from a June 2014 article in the telegraph; The head of a new website, which has been created by some of Britain’s biggest traditional estate agents to rival Rightmove and Zoopla, has hit out at “parasitic” internet-only rivals and said they will be banned from its site. Ian Springett, chief executive of Agents Mutual, said that online agents are “a bit of a con” and the new property website was being launched to counter the “duopoly” of Rightmove and Zoopla.

From: Agent S 12 December 2017 22:46 PM

Agent S
And no leads for the £50 I assume?

From: Agent S 05 December 2017 10:25 AM

Agent S
The certainly havent offered me any FREE listings, what it the exact wording of the restriction on sale clause?

From: Agent S 05 December 2017 09:36 AM

Agent S
Initially I wondered if On the Market was financed by Right Move as it fell right into their lap with the one portal rule. Lets face it OTM customers have suffered from a dearth of leads and and untruths about pricing and mutuality.(so wont call the Agents Mutual - ha ha!) There will be people who will benefit from flotation - but it wont be agents! At least if Zoopla ask for a price increase you know that you're buying a decent product - not so with OTM. Oh and On line agents will now be welcome to the OTM fold

From: Agent S 29 October 2017 07:23 AM

Agent S
what worries me is the HR side - all those "Disgruntled Dans" who have left the business under a cloud can catch you out, they only have to prove distress not loss ( also the storage of CV's) A minefield!

From: Agent S 20 October 2017 12:26 PM

Agent S
Great result for these misleading and irritating adverts to be stopped Good to read this in full

From: Agent S 18 October 2017 05:38 AM

Agent S
Think I'll copy him - lot less hard work than running a proper Agency!

From: Agent S 17 October 2017 10:44 AM

Agent S
good sagacity in the future of publishing and the importance brand reputation!

From: Agent S 15 October 2017 08:34 AM

Agent S
what on earth do they think they are doing - desperation comes to mind

From: Agent S 14 September 2017 13:26 PM

Agent S
it will Kevin - they couldn't organise a proverbial p*** up in a brewery

From: Agent S 07 September 2017 22:00 PM

Agent S
Well knock me down with a feather! Total shock at the strength of the vote - I always thought you cant fool all of the people all of the time.........?

From: Agent S 07 September 2017 13:12 PM

Agent S
but why would an agent want to give up a portal that supplies them leads for one that didnt?

From: Agent S 24 August 2017 17:16 PM

Agent S
yes I've heard of exactly the same ploy - talk about bribery and corruption!

From: Agent S 18 August 2017 07:59 AM

Agent S
Big shame - would love to know more.........................

From: Agent S 17 August 2017 13:52 PM

Agent S
I don't have a problem with a third portal, is it too late now for this to make any difference to the strength of RM and Zoopla - well probably. But I do have a huge problem with the way OTM have handled everything from the start. They have not been true to their word and have wasted Agents money - better to spend more on Zoopla as a second portal than spend on OTM and not get any leads.

From: Agent S 09 August 2017 18:18 PM

Agent S
we need to keep publicizing these examples

From: Agent S 08 August 2017 08:00 AM

Agent S
I am so angry and disillusioned with this - why did I ever believe that this was going to help the industry. Instead it has strengthened Rightmoves position and now the final insult is that I am not equal. What a load of rubbish these men in suits talk!

From: Agent S 04 August 2017 16:56 PM

Agent S
They are a disgrace to the industry, having lied and cheated their members. How can they hold their heads up.? Their actions are shameful.

From: Agent S 03 August 2017 22:52 PM

Agent S
yes! exciting times ahead - what a fiasco!

From: Agent S 03 August 2017 22:42 PM

Agent S
PB provides good gossip though, gives us all something to think about and talk about now that OTM has got boring

From: Agent S 12 July 2017 14:55 PM

Agent S
but it was all for the good of the "Agent" and to stop the duopoly of RM and Zoop, went a bit wrong then...............

From: Agent S 22 May 2017 15:08 PM

Agent S
I am just gonna love this!

From: Agent S 30 January 2017 16:17 PM

Agent S
hit the nail on the head Katy!

From: Agent S 07 January 2017 21:40 PM

Well done "Thomas Morris" the true spirit of Christmas - heartwarming

From: Agent S 29 December 2016 08:05 AM

Agent S
Yes but its really nearly Christmas!!

From: Agent S 11 November 2016 10:14 AM

Agent S
there is a sadness here for those who believed OTM's initial message and have been badly let down by them 

From: Agent S 28 October 2016 17:12 PM

Agent S
Goodness - what ever next!! Slogged me guts out for 50 years - still working and paying tax but now I've got to downsize, you couldn't make it up!!

From: Agent S 28 October 2016 09:32 AM

Agent S
3 cheers to OTM for helping them do so well!

From: Agent S 27 July 2016 14:43 PM

Agent S
I agree with your view Nick - thank you. Quite right that there is a lot more at stake here than the property market . There was no problem with the Common Market and we were not informed that this would lead to the loss of our sovereignty. Fingers crossed for the morning!

From: Agent S 23 June 2016 17:06 PM

Agent S
Yes life will go on after June 23rd, lets hope its outside of the EU!!

From: Agent S 28 May 2016 10:01 AM

Agent S
yes OTM has been a great marketing tool for Right Move - I don't think any campaign they could have launched would have served them better

From: Agent S 09 April 2016 08:28 AM

Agent S
Desperate people and desperate measures. Right Move sitting there giggling as they watch on

From: Agent S 09 April 2016 08:23 AM

Agent S
Great natter Nat!

From: Agent S 19 March 2016 09:26 AM

Agent S
really interesting and informative article !

From: Agent S 30 January 2016 22:09 PM

Agent S
lovely read Ian - really enjoyed hearing about the changes to the industry and how your week went. Perfect close to the week on Friday! Thank you again

From: Agent S 23 January 2016 10:05 AM

Agent S
Seems that Savills have not seen a drop in leads since they left Zoopla and Prime Location ?? Everyone else must be wrong then? Mind you the person saying this is a non executive director of OTM as wells as a director of Savills so not sure if that has an impact on what he says...........

From: Agent S 20 January 2016 15:27 PM

Agent S
Hit the nail on the head with your comments on Right Move Graham. OTM has been an excellent public relations vehicle for Right Move by increasing and strengthening its market share OTM have given success to RM on a plate, their impact on the market being brushed aside like a tiny fly on a giant, but good gossip over the year as long as you weren't one of the agents who signed up!

From: Agent S 17 January 2016 07:35 AM

Agent S
Some great insights! see you this time next year for the results Graham!

From: Agent S 03 January 2016 22:17 PM

Agent S
What can we do to show them up EAT? Its disgraceful that they are so blatantly disrespectful and high handed!

From: Agent S 29 December 2015 08:32 AM

Agent S
OTM has been great gossip, as long as you haven't signed up for it! Totally frustrated for those who have and have been misled!

From: Agent S 19 December 2015 09:12 AM

Agent S
Yes great initiative - with the way of the world at the moment our armed forces deserve every help we can give, along with our eternal gratitude.

From: Agent S 04 December 2015 13:36 PM

Agent S
I'm still convinced that OTM is simply a ruse by Right Move to knock Zoopla out of the water and then increase their prices!

From: Agent S 01 December 2015 09:30 AM

Agent S
Hello Anthony, Excellent comment! I feel so frustrated for agents such as yourself who have been blatantly misled. I'm astonished by NAEA's relationship with OTM.

From: Agent S 29 November 2015 09:35 AM

Agent S
I still think OTM is a ploy by RM to reduce Zoopla's share of the market , increase their own and ultimately increase their prices! Has to be - as that's what's happened!

From: Agent S 21 November 2015 06:13 AM

Agent S
How can the NAEA support a company with such restrictive trade practices, surely they must be embarrassed that they give their support to OTM. I cant understand that with their position in the industry, they find it morally acceptable to continue with their support?

From: Agent S 01 November 2015 22:46 PM

Agent S
As I'm not with OTM, I quite like the gossip - would be quite different if I was one of the poor agents who signed up and have been hugely let down

From: Agent S 29 October 2015 11:00 AM

Agent S
and OTM has significantly strengthened RM 's position in the market (was it all a ploy by RM to reduce Zooplas footing in the market)?

From: Agent S 26 October 2015 09:53 AM

Agent S
Would love to know Lisa's cost per lead on OTM compared to her other portal - must be massive!

From: Agent S 22 October 2015 10:37 AM

Agent S
yes doomed to fail sadly and I feel sorry for those who have financially committed. The Alexa traffic ranking for OTM is 426 - contrast and compare to Right Move sitting at number 21 and Zoopla at 69. No contest and nothing for RM and Zoopla to worry about, in fact just reinforces their positions. I wonder how many articles have been written about this and how many comments made, it goes on and on , but not for much longer I feel?

From: Agent S 20 October 2015 09:10 AM

Agent S
Good piece Russell - also interesting to note that OTM's Alexa ranking (web traffic ranking) is 427 whilst Right Move is 20 and Zoopla 70. Doesn't look like RM and Zoopla have too much to worry about!

From: Agent S 18 October 2015 07:25 AM

Agent S
It was cringing, still wondering what sort if impact they were trying to achieve and wonder if it achieved what they wanted?

From: Agent S 04 October 2015 06:27 AM

Agent S
Thank goodness there's at least one benefit in getting old!

From: Agent S 01 October 2015 11:50 AM

Agent S
very bad taste - what on earth were they thinking of?

From: Agent S 30 September 2015 09:25 AM

Agent S
Hi Alex - is this a one off interview or will there be further opportunities for us to question you?

From: Agent S 18 September 2015 22:25 PM

Agent S
Hi Alex, I am very much looking forward to your interview! How do you see the position of OTM v Zoopla and Right Move in 12 months from now? Would Zoopla consider reducing prices to regain those agents they have lost to OTM?

From: Agent S 07 September 2015 07:57 AM

Agent S
Bottom line - Rightmove rubbing their hands together (in between smirking)

From: Agent S 28 July 2015 12:17 PM

Agent S
Great coverage and looking forward to seeing the programme tonight, but such a shame to see our profession receive this type of bad press

From: Agent S 08 July 2015 11:13 AM

Agent S
yes - and when its busy yes good to keep up to date - and get on with emails and while listening in !

From: Agent S 05 July 2015 21:42 PM

next thing they'll be telling us is that we don't need tape measures to work out room sizes!
